Last summer, former Gov. Jesse Ventura outraged plenty when he announced he was continuing his lawsuit against slain Navy SEAL Chris Kyle by asking that Kyle’s widow, Taya, be substituted as the defendant in his defamation suit against Kyle. The case continued with Taya as the defendant and is expected to go to a jury today following closing arguments.

WCCO-TV political reporter Patrick Kessler reports that Taya, in her first public comments, has said it’s “brutal” being away from her children to attend the trial.
